One afternoon at Trafalgar Square

There are certain things in life which
stand alone and simple but have a great depth to their existence. One such
sight in London of simplicity with a history is to be seen during Christmas
time at Trafalgar Square.

It is here that every Christmas, stands a
beautiful tall Christmas tree well light for the sightseers pleasure.
Ordinarily one may assume that it is an ordinary Christmas tree with lights on
it to celebrate the occasion of joy, new birth and giving.

However when one dwells in the history of
this tree it speaks a different story. Every year since 1947, a Christmas tree
has been given to the people of London from the people of Norway in gratitude
for Britain’s support for Norway during World War II.
